I see a lot of folks on the internet suggest that "we" need to shed the constraints of society, step out of the "role" we inevitably must play in the mundane world. "We" must not get lost in the rules and the person "we" must become in the "real world." I have to say, I understand where they are coming from. For the most part these folks are appealing to the part of us that feels like a slave to the grind. Long ago the average work day was 9am to 5pm, there was even a song about it. Now the average workday is 8am to 6pm or longer. People spend more time with their co-workers than with their own families and that is just sad. The practical part of me that works all day, generally 8:30am to between 6:30 and 7pm, knows that it is a necessary evil. How else would I provide food for my family? How else could I provide a home for them? I hear the attitude, I hear people say all the time, "Get over it! That's life, deal with it." That is also accurate, there isn't a heck of a lot one can do about the grind. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, there are those fortunate enough to break out of it or at the very least find a job they actually like and are passionate about. Lucky bastards.
